pros:easy to use like those of R4, support for multimedia playback(built-in moonshell)
cons:don't comply with SDHC, extremely low battery life due to a poor chip design. It runs hotter than any other flashcarts.

So basically it's a cheap knock off of the R4? (Just like everyone suspected).

I can't believe they screwed up supporting SDHC. At least if they could list that bullet point they would probably fool a bunch more people into thinking it was the "next" R4. Without that, it just screams clone even more.

Interesting... they've got one bloody huge chip to connect to the DS's data lines (U1) and another (U3) to connect to the TF. I can't make anything out in those photos... are there any markings on those chips? I thought at first that the n5 might turn out to be a bit of misdirection by the R4 team - a way to sell their older tech at the same time as the supposed forthcoming V3 R4. I no longer think that. No wonder power consumption's increased, with a parts count like that thing has.

It'll probably sell well, though - it's cheap and available, and with these things available is sometimes enough by itself.
